RIPE NCC Report: Law Enforcement Agency Requests 2019
Dear colleagues, We have published a transparency report that details the nature of the requests we received from Law Enforcement Agencies in 2019. You can find the report at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-740/ Kind regards, Maria Stafyla Senior Legal Counsel RIPE NCC
Dear Maria, Thank you for this report. I think it's better to explain abbreviations like 'MLAT' as I google it and it wasn't too easy to find the meaning without RIPE NCC website. PS. MLAT stands for 'mutual legal assistance treaties' -- Sergey

I really appreciate the RIPE NCC's transparency in this matter. Thank you! Cheers, -- Shane
One of the requests was from a Dutch law-enforcement authority ordering the RIPE NCC to provide non-public information it holds about organisations responsible for Internet number resources. The RIPE NCC complied with this request.
is it safe to assume this was a proper court order (excuse the american term)? randy
Hi,

I see a small contradiction in there. At the beginning it is stated that "The number of requests increased slightly from 2018 due to mainly the fact that the RIPE NCC received repeated requests for the same type of information from the same party in the United States.". However, when looking at the numbers per country at the bottom the United States submitted 38 requests in 2019 and 39 in 2019. So that doesn't seem to explain the slight increase. It looks more like the 6 requests from Germany (compared to 1 the year before) and some other requests from different places have caused the increase. Not that it's that important, but I feel it would be more appropriate to just state "The number of requests increased slightly from 2018" and leave it at that. Cheers, Sander

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear all, Thank you for your feedback and comments. We take them all into consideration. The request we received from the Dutch law enforcement authority was a legally binding order. Regarding the number of requests we received and our presentation of the reason for the 'slight increase', we had intended to indicate that the number of requests we received in 2019 was once again much greater than the number of requests in years prior to 2018. We understand this was not accurately reflected in the report and we amended the relevant passage accordingly. The updated document is available here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-741 Kind regards, Maria Stafyla Senior Legal Counsel RIPE NCC On 25/03/2020 14:21, Sander Steffann wrote: that "The number of requests increased slightly from 2018 due to mainly the fact that the RIPE NCC received repeated requests for the same type of information from the same party in the United States.".
